I learnt something about Miss M today.
I learnt that she has maturity beyond her years, or at least a certain degree of self preservation.
Because when she noticed this…
She chose to tell no one.
She kept it to herself all day. But as soon as she met me at the gates she said gleefully, “Mummy, look!”
That’ll teach her to be so blumming independent, mwah ha ha haaaa.

Hehehee! I think the ‘odd’ look works very well indeed.

I thought it was meant to be like like. Sort of asymmetrical and arty. I would definitely wear them like that – if I wore shoes like that I mean. Love the Nora Batty socks too. Bless!

Oh, Jo! LOL This topic was to be a blog post of mine! When I do, I’ll remember to link to you. Your daughter is a smart one and those designs on the souls of her shoes are cool!
(I am living up to my vow to post more often, although my recent post is well…you’ll see.)

So cute! Are they both hers? Or is there another little girl at school with an identical pair (but the other way round)?

Adorable!!!

That looks lovely! I honestly couldn’t work out what was wrong with that picture. I would mix and match as well.

My daughter is 17 she paints her shoes so each shoe of a pair looks different she wears All Stars or Adidas and she paints them and they look really smart, people stare at her shoes, some laugh some really admire them. The salesman from whom we normally buy her shoes always wonders what she is going to do to the the next pair of shoes now there are people on the internet who paint shoes for you and the shoes are different and it is expensive so it is actually a trend that is beginning.
Last time we were in Kuwait she painted her friends All Stars too and they looked beautiful and unique, one was day the other was night or something like that. they also wear different kinds of laces and ribbons and mix and match. So Miss M is actually a trend setter. This is going to last a long time as the sky is the limit with what you can do with a pair of shoes. When she is sixteen she is going to look at this pic quite proudly.

Didn’t her poor little foot hurt?

Maybe I should be worried or something because I can’t work out what’s wrong with those shoes.

oh my word! that is just too cute that she kept it to herself, and then was so excited to tell you FIRST thing.

I’m with Corey – too cute! Love the designs on the soles. Why weren’t they that pretty when I was little?

I seem to remember you coming to school in different coloured shoes one morning last year, Jo!
October 13th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
I quite like it. In fact I might try it tomorrow at work…
October 13th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Hahaha, love it, I can see my eldest doing that one of these days, and then no doubt try and lay the blame on me!!!!! Classic!!!

A little girl at Pickles school (not new, been there ages) once came dressed in red socks, red checked summer dress and red cardigan. She looked lovely. Except the school uniform is and always has been ROYAL BLUE!

At a similar age, my son came home complaining his shoes were pinching. He had put on another boy’s Clarks dinosaur shoes after PE, and they were a size and a half smaller. I phoned the mum, and she went to check her son’s shoes. They were the same design but didn’t belong to my son. Turned out three boys had the same shoes in the class, and they’d managed to do a 3-way swap after PE.
